May 18, 2017

Here it is -- a new cruising season and I have not quite finished the last cruising season. Terrible!

So a quick update.

We returned from the Central Coast in early August and took our granddaughter Phoenix on a trip into the Gulf islands for a week. That was great fun! Phoenix - from Alberta - had a couple of rough crossings of the Straight if Georgia and was not sea sick once!

We went to Clam Bay - Sydney Spit Marine Park and Montague Harbour.








We really had a great time with Phoenix.

In early September Jim took a couple of friends on a trip in the Gulf Islands.

At the end September Jim and I went to the "Krog In" in Anacortes. We took a couple of extra days and went to Oak Harbour for fuel and then spent a night in La Conner.

Jessica brought Hunter and Jack for a visit in February. So Jim and Eric brought Hunter to the boat for a little trip up the river.















We are planning to go to Haida Gwaii this year. We have registered to go into the Gwaii Haanas park in mid June.

We have decide not to bring Jenny and Lilly this trip. Although we will miss them terribly. Jenny is getting older and had problems with her knee a couple of times. And getting her on and off the boat and skiff is becoming more difficult. We have found an amazing person to dog/cat and house sit for the summer - so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to make a few long crossings and see some places that we've not been able to see as easily with Jenny and the need for good shore access.

We are heading up to Pender Harbour and will take our usual route up through The Dents. Maybe a night at the Shoal Bay dock.
